[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Programming Classes??

Tue Jul 1 10:47:37 CDT 2003

Hi Wilson,

   I really don't think that there is a need of formal training for C
over Linux. All I did was just picked up a C programming book and
started off writing programs with vi and compiling them through gcc. 

  I have always observed that one learns more in depth through
struggling at each step and trying to sort out the problem by himself
rather than having a user guide to help out at each of those steps. You
might or might not agree to this.

 So, the only thing I would suggest you is to get a good book on C
programming (preferably one from Orielly publications) and start off
writing programs on Linux. 

I've always found this method of learning by the own more satisfying.

Thanks and Regards,
Harshal Vaidya.

I was a member of this group a year or so ago and found the people most
helpful.  Well,  I am back and  this time armed with a little more
knowledge than I had a year ago.

I am seeking some assistance in finding a course in C programming on the
linux platform.  I don't have any programming experience other than
BASIC on a TRS-80 computer from years ago.  I have been told that it
would be easier to start with somthing like VB but I really want to
program in Linux.  Some of my applications that I use now have the
ability to increase functionality with C notation so I thought I would
stick with C.

Does anyone have any suggestions? 

THanks

David Wilson

BTW,  I currently have a job opening for a Manager in our Electronic
Evidence Consulting Practice.  If you are interested please forward me
your resume or contact me via email.
